Customer Reviews The North Face Miss Metro Parka

Bought this medium sized coat for a 5ft 4in, 120lb teen, with a figure skaters physique. A small would have made it a fitted style. I didn't want it fitted. It had to have enough room for a sweat shirt to go under it, because she actually has to stay warm, after she takes the coat off in certain places. I wanted enough room so that she could lift her arms comfortably on the subway. So it's bigger than fitted, but not swimming. We also get plenty of snow, especially outside of Manhattan (long blocks), so I needed it lightweight and long enough to cover the behind. Will look serious with high boots & scarf. Logo is black on black you should know, for all of you brand conscious people. Craftsmanship is on target. Her previous TNC coat lasted 3 years before she outgrew it. No holes in pockets, which is unheard of for kids.

First time buyer of this cost and I love it! It's light weight and warm. Plus I don't look like I'm drowning in it.

I love how warm this coat is but it'd also comfortable , it's not heavy and bulky.

great style and fit!

Roomy- soft yet durable

I bought this as a gift for someone that had been "checking out" North Face outerwear for over a year! It is not only attractive but the workmanship of this coat is guaranteed for as long as she owns it.

I love this coat I bought the black color last year and I was wearing it all winter and I bought the gray color recently, I am getting ready for winter and I can't wait to wear my new north face coat.

I'm totally pleased with the coat I bought. It's by far my favorite winter coat of all. Wearing thick clothes is not always the best, but this jacket feels way better than any regular puffy, winter coat. It's extremely warm, smooth, and light weighed.

I bought this coat for this coming winter and my first year of college. I wanted something long to keep me warm during Michigans freezing winters and I have no doubt this coat won't do that! It is so comfortable and I can't wait to use it this winter!! I am 5"7 and 140 pounds and I got a medium and it fits perfect.

Wanted to buy my daughter a warm coat as a gift as she is on her way to graduate school in a cold climate. She is very fashion conscience and this one is nicely shaped, not too tight or loose, not too bulky but super warm.

I totally love this coat. I live in Ontario Canada and winter is harsh especially this past one. It is warm but it doesn't feel bulky and heavy. I understand the comments that it is kind of run on the small side but I think it is designed to perfectly fit your body. It is a perfect fit for me for Medium size. I am 5'3" and 128 pounds. The reason I say that it is not small because I can still raise my hands up and it doesn't feel snug. When the jacket is small, you will not be able to raise your hands. I can also fit the thermoball jacket inside when the weather is extremely cold, although yes it will feel very snug. The only negative is I would like to have the fur line on the hood. I think it will look so much nicer. As I just bought this, I am not sure about the durability. I initially purchased the light grey one but then exchange it for the black as I think the light grey will get dirty really fast and I don't want to risk washing it too many times.

I bought this jacket online, without fitting it, because it was really cold and the zipper on my previous winter coat broke. I am normally S but took XS in this jacket and it's perfect. It has been about 20?F and slightly below recently and all I wear is tshirt and a thin wool sweater under this and I stay perfectly warm, I feel so cosy it's almost like I never left my bed! :) Also, I love the fitted shape, very flattering. Love love love this jacket!

I tried several of these coats and this was the most slimming. It has all the features you would want as well as the warmth without the bulk.

I bought this parka in late November and just LOVE it! I've received many compliments; I have the Moonlight Ivory color (I didn't want black - and this was a great choice because it is so, so versatile#. It does a great job of keeping me warm. I think the longer length works well with office attire #I don't like having longer shirts or sweaters peeping out below my coat - looks sloppy# - and it's great for driving #especially with the 2-way zipper that lets you unzip from the bottom). Removable hood is a nice feature. I LOVE the feel of the material - very soft. So happy I bought this coat!

I have looked and looked for a long, warm coat. The NF Transit was too thin and not long enough and the NF Metropolis was not flattering on me at all. So, I decided to try the Miss Metro b/c of its great reviews. I bought this coat in Burnt Olive as I wanted something different than black. It is a beautiful color. The small was too tight, so I returned it for the medium. (I am 5'4, 125 lbs.) The medium fits perfectly, and it is really warm and perfect for Northern NY winters. I am very happy with my purchase!

so warm!!! even in the negative degrees here in new england! took about a week and a half to get here! im a small in everything and i got a small w room to layer as well!!! its like wearing a down comforter wherever you go! wish i got this years ago.

This coat HAS the three "F's" i.e., "The fashion and fit are fantastic". The warmth and light weight are wonderful. The length is the best when walking in the zero weather. Without a doubt the best coat that I have owned in a very long time! Thanks

As soon as I received the coat, I went for an hour long walk in falling snow and wind chills below 0. Verdict: the coat kept me warm - I was even perspiring a tiny bit from navigating snow drifts. The coat is well worth the price.

I received the down, Metro Parka in the dapple grey as a gift. I had picked the color and style out myself. After reading reviews about sizing, I ordered a size up. I've always wanted a coat like this. When I opened the package, I was so satisfied with the color. It's a beautiful grey...not quite silver....more of a purple tone. The fit was perfect. I knew it would be warm, but it exceeded my expectations. I love this coat and expect many years of enjoyment.

After a lot of research, I decided on this parka and LOVE it. This parka is very warm and very comfy. I am 5'10/135lbs and purchased a small, perfect fit!

Lightweight, very warm, great color and stitching. Very happy with purchase.

Last year after having heavy and long winter (live in Ch-go )I got myself Metropolis parka. I wasn't really excited about shape but I was tired of looking like a chicken after wearing my old jacket so my friend recommended me a Metropolis. Unfortunately after having it for one season my dash board in car is covered in feathers and after spending so much $ you don't really want to deal with that. I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with it. Usually you don't buy jacket just for one season and you expect more from name like North Face. I saw Miss Metro Parka on one of my friends and I instantly loved it. It gave her a great shape and look so much nicer than Metropolis so I started my research and I finally got myself Miss Metro! Material is so much better quality that I couldn't believe it since the price difference isn't a lot (only $31) compare to Metropolis. The feel and details on jacket are just great. I love the color greystone blue :) it's just gorgeous!!! And MOST important the feathers are NOT coming out!!! I can't say a lot about shape since I'm 8 months pregnant but I hope that I won't look like sack of potatoes like in Metropolis.

Very warm and so stylish! Perfect for those cold winter months.

It is a gift for my mother's. It'very warm during the winter,and my mother and me really like the design,so after received, my mother says it's the best gift this year,so i'm very happy~~

First of all I always research and check reviews and this coat was rated extremely high. I am a first grade teacher and have to take my class outside for recess so I need a warm coat and this one certainly does the job! Because it goes down to my knees it keeps my whole body warm but yet light weight , flexible and not bulky. I'm in love with this coat !
